I is for "i have a secret!"

this post is for miss jenny's alphabe-thrusday... this weeks letter is I....

before i tell you my secret... let me establish the value of this... thanks to the "stats" on my blog i have noticed that not all of my readers are here in arizona... many are not even in the usa... the point being that some may not be experienced in desert survival... arizona has many different elevations, but it is all desert (determined by amount of rainfall, or rather the lack of)
so even though we live at a higher elevation we are still in the desert and you may think that it's just the burning heat of the summer that causes dehydration, believe me the winter is just as bad or worse... the forced hot air heat sucks all the moisture out of everything... leaving our skin our lips, our feet, our hands, our cuticles... everything is DRY!
so my secret is..... homemade sugar scrub... yes i am sharing my amazing recipe for sugar scrub. just equal parts of olive oil and sugar... that's it!
for my own health reasons i don't use any store bought products on my skin, i have had a cosmetology license for 25 yrs so when i started having skin problems i figured myself qualified to make my own beauty products...
so just get yourself a mug or bowl and mix away... i like mixing with my fingers because i can get my cuticles....! star is addicted, she prefers the brown sugar, but sometimes i make it with white sugar... i like how it feels on my face...
now when you try this you may have your first experience of your body talking to you.... when you get a handful and start to scrub, you will hear your other body parts say "do me next!" so scrub away girls! get rid of all that dead skin! just take it right into the shower and give yourself a little spa treatment....! (one more little secret... in a pretty container, it makes a nice handmade christmas gift!)
happy thursday everyone! thanks miss jenny!
